Speaking about the live shows in a press release, Minogue shared: “I am beyond excited to announce the TENSION TOUR 2025. I can’t wait to share beautiful and wild moments with fans all over the world, celebrating the Tension era and more! It’s been an exhilarating ride so far and now, get ready for your close up because I will be calling Lights, Camera, Action … and there will be a whole lot of Padaming!”
The tour is in support of the pop icon’s latest album ‘Tension‘. In a four-star review of the LP, NME shared: “The result isn’t Minogue’s most cohesive or revealing LP, but it does feel driven by its own internal logic. Ultimately, ‘Tension’ plays like a fun, flirty night out with an old friend who never burdens you with her problems.
“Whether you’ve known Minogue for a lifetime – or just since ‘Padam Padam’ – you’ll want to join the party.”
‘Tension’ included the smash hit ‘Padam Padam’, which ended up landing at Number Three on NME‘s best songs of 2023 (and was very nearly given to Rita Ora). Minogue described its “seismic” success as “overwhelming”, saying: “It’s an incredible time. It doesn’t really feel real to me yet because it’s all just happening.
“‘Padam’ was just seismic. The earth was moving and now this is ‘Tension’s first play. This is very exciting.”
We spoke to the popstar at the BRITs this year, where she revealed she was experimenting with new genres including indie folk.
“I just listen to playlists of one song I like, which leads me down this trippy path,” she told us of what artists she’s been enjoying. “Who should I seek out tonight? Just putting it out there that indie pop folk is one of my happy places.”
She continued: “I just love collaboration and stepping into different [genres]. Being malleable and seeing what’s possible.”
Elsewhere, Minogue announced ‘Tension II’, her follow-up album to ‘Tension’ which will include nine new tracks.
Speaking about the album in a press release, the singer shared: “The Tension era has been so special to me … I can’t possibly let it be over just yet! Welcome to ‘Tension II’.” The LP is set for release on September 27 via BMG and can be pre-ordered here.
